My graphics.

Can anyone take a look at my graphics for FC 2 and tell me how they look compared to yours? Thanks. It is set with all options (except resolution) at max.

P.S. It's not private;)

Not bad, look like it lacks a lot of AA but thats maybe because of FRAPS/youtube compresion.

Could be a little sharper, like your taxiing and flying...j/k!

Fraps made almost no degration, mabye you tube..basically you see what I see while playing. I think I need more RAM/DDR

-and you wish you could taxi as well as me:joystick:

Your framerates are very low... In my opinion, it's best to sacrifice pretty graphics for smooth performance.

You could also record from a track at half speed, then speed it back up in post-processing.

Youtube doesn't really help at all. Hard to say.

Why do you ask, is there a problem you need fixing.

Frames look fine to me.

I just wanna know. and after seeing

I think GA has added a bit of FX to that, at least some contrast.

Looks like anything between 15 and 25 fps for me. In my opinion, it's very important to have at least 30 fps for recording video.

I just wanna know. and after seeing

, I started thinking if I could get my graphics that good.

23 seconds of mouth watering video, edited with special effects from one of the best video makers in the communicity who has been doing this stuff as long as I can remember.

It's an unfair battle, you will always loose. Your GFX look fine!

Dude... the day Flight Sims look and sound like Glowing Ammram's videos... our jobs will all be doomed. No one will ever work again. :pilotfly:

Don't watch his videos... it's just like looking at your smooth neighbor over the fence while she's sunbathing and then looking back over your shoulders to your hairy tart. It hurts man... it hurts... :D

Glowing Ammram is for Lockon what MysticPuma is for IL2. Check some of his videos... you slobber your mouth away. :thumbup:

25-30 fps? I get 60-80 FPS when flying over big cities and 150-300 FPS when flying at high altitudes! I have all setting turned to max (Except Water) and 16AF/8AA forced on in my graphics driver...and mine looks really sweet!

I have nowhere near that performance.

I have a Phenom X4 955 @3.7GHz and a Radeon 5850 also overclocked through Catalyst.

I also have my settings maxed out except for water and 8AA and 8Aniso. Over big cities I get down to 30's when flying low level or the same 30's sometimes a little lower when looking at them at altitude through the Maverick optics or the Shval.

At busy bases when on the ground I get down to 20's.

Overall I get around 40-50.

When flying at altitude I get steady 60 due to Vsync.

The video linked to in the first post, just reminds me why I hate the f15 soooooooooooo much in this sim.

Pity that Ed didnt decide to take it off its rails in FC2.

FC2 should of been ALL aircraft with a flight model similar to the 25ts advanced FM.

Do you still want that? :P

If you can give that, I'm ready for all those conditions you apply and even the cost.

Are you kidding? I'd pay that with two smiles on my face. :joystick: :pilotfly:

You and what army? I assumed the same amount of people would buy it as would the current FC2. I would actually also have felt able to live with those changes (though A10C delay would hurt), but I know people who wouldn't. Remember that the people on this forum are a very minor portion of the consumers who purchase the product: people who are die-hard enough to spend hours on this forum are not a good sample for market research. ;)

If it leads to less sales, price has to go up to follow and we quickly reach the point where the risk is too great and the options become to do what ED did, or just not do the product at all.

But just to be clear: I would also have absolutely loved a fully AFM FC2, and I would have been prepared to pay handsomely for the pleasure. But not many people are. The majority of sales are to people who are "just buying a game", and if they hit the store shelves and see HAWX listed at 50 dollars and FC2 listed at 100+ dollars... Which one will they buy? ;)

Yeah... I know. If the majority of the community were really made of sim jocks like us, gosh, FC would have cost some good 150 bucks and it'd be the pinnacle of flight simulation.

Well, we still got a nice product though. You can't have it all. :pilotfly::joystick:

Wow, that is amazing FPS, I don't know what is up with my rig, I can't seem to get anything past 25-30 fps with AA on (manually have to adjust each setting, game will not detect the CCC). What resolution are you running on? I am using the 10.5 drivers from ATI, any suggestions?

I know it is a completely different gaming engine and uses Direct X 11, but here is a video I took of BC2, no issues, awesome frame rate.

Any advise would be great.

WOW something is really wrong with your game because it looks like some of your specs are better than mine!

I'm running 1920x1080 and running 10.5 also my fps didnt change from 10.2-10.5

Lucid484, can you tell me what your Catalyst Control Center settings are on in the advanced tab? Don't want to be a pain, been trying to get this right since last night, nothing seems to work.

Thanks for any assistance in advance.

Put AA to 2x...if you game at 1920x1080 or above then the reso is pretty high...i dont see a whole lotta difference above 2x, put AA mode to performance (alot of games have issues with the 2 higher settings and sometimes they look close to the same but have a HUGE performance hit) , put AF to 16x, AI OFF, MipMap quality, and I leave triple buffering checked (dont even think i have any open gl games actually).

my FC2 looks absolutly gorgeous and i get the high frame rates. BTW i play on a 56" DLP so i see any jaggies much more pronounced without any AA 1920 is a big difference from a 20 to 56" screen!

I use ATI Radion HD 3200 Integrated/AMD Phenom II X4 810 quad core processor. Does that stuff work for me?

Lucid,

I will give it a try, I really appreciate the advise. Thanks again.

Used high detail 1600 x 1200, just testing my old settings, frame rates at about 25-30. Will post video of 1920 x 1200 in 1080p shortly, using the setting you suggested.
